getting warm when the oldest member Of

something on the floor All four stopped |
talking until the lost object was finally /

No, but | want my potato. 1t is for

Yes; don't ycu know that il You

their friend, VINO went on TO tel how he
had suffered for two years with twinges
of rheumatism and how nothing seemed
TO do him any good. The one who had
found the potato said that it served him
right 10 suffer so. ANY man who did
not know enough TO take the proper
medicine ought 10 have the rheumatism,
and have il bad, too. The potato carrier
protested that he had tried all kinds OF
remedies and employed the best pEysi-
clans in New York city, but without effect.
But you haven't tried the right
thing" continued his friend. % Ny wife

was almost a constant sufferer. Except
in the BRIGHTEST weather she was ALWAYS

somehow the disease seemed to hang on.
Then an Old doctor, retired from practice
who spends his time reading, told me
that he had heard of discovery OF 4 new
way OF treating rheumatism. An old
l.
discovered a new remedy that treated
rheumatism IN perfectly new way-as
a disease Of the blood. The thing struck
me as at least possible, and with some
little trouble ] got Dr. Pardee's address
and sent for some OF the medicine The

fell in with an old friend, a doctor
shortly after this and was telling him
about it, when he said: . Do you know
that discovery you heard mentioned Is =
singular thing. Of course, as a regular
practitioner l orght not 10 say anything
about it, but | have looked into the mat
ter some and am convinced that DR..
Pardee has struck upon something that
medical men have been searching after
for years. Ever since the days when
Socrates taught in Athens and Antony
made love to Cleopatra, man has been
cursed with this disease. Down through
the ages, century after century has
slipped away and still this scourge ha~
maintained its hold on the children Of
men. Iiniments, lotions, blisteTs and
all kinds of local applications have had
their day and passed away. 1t has re-
NAMED for the genius Of the nineteenth
century to discover the true cause OF the
disease. As the blood is the lie, so any
interruption to the healthful course OF
the blood finds expression in this form OF
pain. Now, DIR. Pardee has located
the cause OF the trouble and seems TO
have marked cut a remedy. 1t IS what
men hoped for when the Pyramids were
building and it is what men are hoping
for now. Ii he has, at last, solved the
problem tie discovery will take its place
in history by the side Of the discovery oi
chloroform and the grand inventions OF
the age"
1t seems odd to the laymen to connect
such apparently different diseases as
neuralgia and rheumatism, yet they both
come from the blood, says this physi-
clan. and are cured bv somewhat similar
remedies. The medicines of the Parde
Company, in their action upon th
system, are said to give to the patient
feeling OF freshness and viror, to sen
the rich blood pulsing through the vein
